Pedal free play:

1.0 to 6.0 mm (0.039 to 0.236 in.)

If the pedal free play is not as specified, check the switch clearance in the next step. If the pedal free play is as specified, proceed to the "INSPECT PEDAL RESERVE DISTANCE" procedure.

(c) Check the switch clearance.

Standard stop light clearance:

1.5 to 2.5 mm (0.059 to 0.098 in.)

If the clearance is not as specified, reinstall the switch and recheck the pedal free play. If the clearance is as specified, troubleshoot the brake system and proceed to the "INSPECT PEDAL RESERVE DISTANCE" procedure.

3. INSPECT PEDAL RESERVE DISTANCE
